He is SUGAR BOY not pretty boy, he was lead singer of Sugar Boy and the Cane Cutters

Beautiful. I can see why Moody Blues would want to pay homage and do a version. I'm sure they never realised how much it would resonate..

Great to find this original original version! Thanx for uploading! The DCs version does not sound exactly the same, with some lyrics in the chorus by Pretty Boy seem to vary slightly. But then at 71 I'm partly deaf so it might be down to my ol' ear 'oles! 🙄😁 Cheers! 🤘

It is the original and should be acknowledged, but for me not the best, Denny added the edge of angst to a "simplified" production that better presented the song, obviously to a wider audience!?!

Thanks for posting this video. This is the version which plays in my head and I had a hard time finding it

Well Done ! .. Makes me want to Read that Book. Piercing insights from the young survivor, evoking deep sorrow for the anguish of the victims .. surviving & not. Love those Drawings .. so stark & real, no glamorous Hollywood hype .. black & white was so appropriate: hellish, harsh & cold ! Sinking was faster than the movie ! Most Notably : Prescient details of the Novel are a Vital Warning: We fallible fragile humans Need to Slow Down, before any "novel venture" .. resolve ourselves to research, & humbly Learn from the Past .. fictional as well as factual ! We are not as smart or strong as we imagine. Let us exercise max caution & care, to Protect & Preserve Lives .. especially for people who Trust us to do everything rightly Safe .. for them & people they Love .. People are Worth more than Progress !

Love Groucho. More please!

I remember seeing you on tv several years ago describing this event. You seemed very credible to me. I would love to see a puckwudgie. If I did, I might stick around and engage with it. But as they say, curiosity kills the cat, so maybe not.

Cool movie. Mr. Sinatra on drums! Thx for the upload.

TRES Cool/Heavy=Film Noir!

First thumbs up and first comment for one of my favourites from Czech born cult auteur Hugo Haas, he made a dozen or so strange masochist noir films, mainly melodramas like this one starring much younger blonde bombshells of the era like Beverly Michaels and Cleo Moore and invariably casts himself opposite them. This is a great one and features Percy Helton in perhaps the creepiest of all his many memorable performances. You can find a handful of Haas's other productions here on KZbin, highly recommended if you enjoyed this one.

That's really cool, I enjoyed it!

What a treasure!

( I suspect that Gary Cooper,,always made love to his female co-stars.). just a educated guess.

This is the Worst Version of MARCO POLO...Neflix have Gone made the Best version to this day...👀

How is Marco Polo going to get out of this fine mess he volunteered to get into at the 1 hour and 2 minute time mark

So that's where the pool game of Marco Polo came from! That's hilarious! MARCO! POLO!

Ship returns to the princess's royal palace then king died and Moco polo and his wife will take over the Kingdom, rest is history!

Quite the historical rendering!

What a great movie, and a loving memory of watching it with mom. Thank you for making it accessible 🍃🌷💝💝🌷🍃

1:41:01 So they all just stand there & watch him struggle for his life.

interesting story. only question i have would be.......is this fact or fiction?

I love these old movies , its almost like looking back in time , the man who played Marcos father looked about 65 which means he was born around 1850 or 1860s an his father early 1800s

Not very historical correct though

Gary Cooper makes a great explorer from Venice with a Midwestern accent. Ah the wonder of Hollywood in the 30th's

Ooohh, Gary Cooper!! What a Throwback-Heart--Throb! NZ., ✌❤😁👏👍😎🥰🙏

Lana Turner!

Better than what they put out for the masses now!

Always in perfect shape, Mr. Cooper... not even a little dust on his shoulders.....

Embarrassing, not even a hint of authenticity.

Well done sir!

I'm sure there's no mention of the tyrannosaurus that Marco Polo describes in his autobiography. That doesn't fit the world's narrative.

viewer beware "Adventures of Polo... Mr. Deeds Goes to Chinatown?" The preceding statement is what one critic referred to when the film came out in 1938. It is simply an awful amateurish-like production by Samuel Goldwyn. Mr. Goldwyn produced an absolute bomb here in his depiction of Polo (Gary Cooper) going to China. By the way, with the exception of a map stating Cathay, ancient Cathay is referred to as China in this film. Who did the research for Mr. Goldwyn here, the 3 stooges? The acting is just awful. Gary Cooper comes across like a western star and Sigrid Gurie, his leading lady, must have thought she was doing a poor imitation of Luise Rainer in "The Good Earth." You know you're in for it when Ernest Truex, the bookkeeper, goes singing "Marco Polo" on a gondola at the beginning of the film. Alan Hale and Binnie Barnes play leaders in western China where the Kublai Khan sends them to. The Khan, played by a fellow by the last name of Barbier, sounds like a Brooklyn or Bronx truck man. Barnes and Hale are completely unfaithful to each other. Basil Rathbone, as evil as ever as the horrible Ahmed, minister to the khan, even looks disgusted and rightfully so by all this. H.B. Warner provides the firecrackers, spaghetti and gun powder for all this. Goldwyn lost a bundle on this mess and rightfully so. Since Technicolor was sparingly used in 1937, the film did not have it. It would not have helped. review by: edw•••••n | 28 December 2006

Excellent!

Last credit - Maid Lana Turner. Might have been her first role ? Great upload! Surprised this was never on TV.

Wow, Marco Polo I had no idea that was the story.

Is this movie where the swimming pool game Marco Polo comes from? That's all I could think when the guy kept calling his name. Or did the game exist before 1938, and the movie is referencing it? Any game historians here who can give us an answer?

The Whiteness is blinding🫣 Cant watch.🙂🙃

This is awful.

I loved it.. honestly😂❤❤

Thank you. God’s love never quits.

A very enjoyable movie. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Old Movies though. 👍👌👏 An of course, I'm a subscriber! Thanks Again Though.

Marco Polo was lucky that everyone from the fruit peddler to the emperor spoke fluent English.

Segregated Hollywood at its finest. Asians for the extras and whites for all the lead roles.

Perhaps Gary Cooper is too much American Style for this part. I am a big fan of Cooper. This movie wasn't a financial success. But good Entertainment. Bogart was in the 30ths the best 2nd Part in Gangster movies. And Rathbone in Adventure movies😊

Verry interesting to listen to on a rainy day, Nice video Thanks for sharing!

Gary Cooper was the symbol of America..he was the biggest star of Hollywood back in the days

"promosm" ✋

7:27 if you are in a big ol' hurry.
